Double T’s Bar & Grill

I have lived in this area off and on for years. Every time I stop in, no matter how long it has been, the service is always the same. The staff is welcoming, the food is good, and the regulars are awesome.

I got dragged out to ‘Double T’s Bar and Grill’ by my father who was merely supporting a former co-​worker of his who was singing at this little hole in the wall bar. Ever seen that scene in a movie when the patrons walk in the front door and the entire bar stops and looks at them? Haha, well, i kid you not that happened to us. Since there was NO reviews on this place online i had no idea what to expect and had no idea what we would have encountered. Being downtown and in the heights i have grown used to the no smoking law. At Double T’s bar, if youre not a smoker, this will be your first and chief complaint. From the moment you walk into Double T’s the first thing that hits you is the wall of smoke. It lingered all night, we all had to shower to get it off of us, my eyes were watering and my throat changed a couple of octives lower and it even remained and lingered on some purses an entire week after the experience.
We ate before arriving at Double T’s so we did not have the opportunity (thank god) to try their entrée of chicken fingers, french fries and other stereotypical bar type foods. While parking was easy and had its own parking in a parking lot the parking lot for 100 cars only had one light which made it a very sketchy place as there was bi-​standers lingering around the parking lot which made all of us feel unweery. The live music we had was great but that was because it was ‘Brenda Guy’, local entertainer who should be on tour with tina turner instead of in this smokey bar.
There is a small dance floor and patrons dance and had a fun time, there was slot machines (didnt know that was legal, hell, it probably wasn’t). Cleanliness, well, lets just say that the word clean should never be used in a review for this place, ever. Keep your hand sanitizer close. I ordered a budlight and it came in a dirty worn out koozie which looked like it had been used daily for the last 17 years. Was stained brown on black (is that possible, well, regardless, it happened), floors in bathroom were practically standing on top of your urine as it seems there might have been a target on the floor before i came in there because i found myself manuevering around puddles of urine which ended up later in the night being on the entire floor around the urinal. I cannot imagine the amount of urine that got trailed out on foot around the doors outside the bathrooms into the main room where the pool tables were. I never saw any of the 6 men i encountered over my 3 bathroom visits ever wash their hands and one of them returned to playing pool and touching koozies.
Group of women i was with (who i now owe a dinner to since i dragged them into this monstrosity) said there was women walking around barefoot in the restroom. She no doubt got some of the urine from the mens bathrooms on the bottom of her feet while walking around. I cannot imagine how much of a daily dose of DNA yums and fecal matter that she got on the bottom of her feet and in her body. She’ll be blaming the sore throat the next day on the guy she kissed the night before for sure and probably was too wasted to even know she was walking around barefoot.
Needless to say when it came time for snacks we dove into the vending machine which was located by the front door. If youre looking for a local bar with zero expectations and bar hags, and getting second hand smoke then Double T’s is the place for you. I will never be returning to Double T’s.
